Rescue FAQs

Appalachian SPCA is located in Eastern Kentucky. We are a foster based rescue aiding, altering and adopting animals in need. We have transport available to the New England states and partner with many rescues.

We rescue animals that find their way to high kill shelters in the southern, Appalachian area. There is an overpopulation of pets at the shelters here in the south and we work hard to save as many lives as possible.

All of our animals are kept up to date on routine immunizations, heart worm tested, spayed or neutered and free of parasites prior to adoption. We work hard to overcome any issues through positive reinforcement and basic training.

Transport is available to the New England States every week. Please ask for the schedule as these trips are scheduled with a transporter and may change. Each pet travels in a crate and is fed and given water during the trip. All pets are up to date on vaccines and travel with a Health Certificate.

By adopting a rescued pet, you will make room for us to help one more to safety and a new home.
